Hi, I'm Kelly. I'm a retired animal lover with about 15 years of pet experience. I started out rescuing and fostering cats but when I saw the ratio of dogs to cats was 5:1 I decided to help with dogs which was where I was needed. I love taking dogs for walks around the block and with parent's permission we go to the dog park. Cuddling on the couch is a favorite of mine too. Love teaching dogs little tricks so they can earn a treat or two. I believe any positive behavior deserves a treat. How do I handle negative attention, you ask? I will literally have a "talk" with them in another room in the house. If the negative behavior continues, I will put them on a leash.
